New year's gifts - red AND black???

Culture | 文化🏮

Hello everyone!

I'd like to get a new years gift for a friend. I know red is good for good luck, I know wearable items are favourable (?). My friend has recently started gardening, I'd like to get him a pair of gardening gloves that are red. I can only find red AND black gloves. I know black is not a good colour for a gift culturally. Is it "balanced" by the red? Or should I give up and find something else?

Here are the gloves for reference:

Or something very similar. (Maybe a little hand trowel instead)

Thank you so much for any assistance! I'm just trying to be thoughtful and provide a good gift!
